Self-Made Tool Digging Soil Easily For Planting Yam !
Steps For Digging Yam Pits When Planting Yam s :
I. Determine The Planting Area And Planning
First, select a plot suitable for yam planting, requiring fertile soil, good drainage, and deep soil layers. Plan the positions of the pits according to the planting density of yams. Mark them with ropes or lime to ensure there is sufficient spacing between pits, generally about 30 to 50 centimeters !
II. Prepare Tools
Prepare excavation tools such as shovels, spades, hoes, or small excavators. If the plot is large, using a small excavator can improve efficiency, but pay attention to operational safety to avoid damaging surrounding land and Facilities !
III. Excavation Process
1. Measure Depth And Width
Determine the depth and width of the pit according to yam varieties and growth needs. Generally, the depth of the pit is about 60 to 100 centimeters, and the width is about 20 to 30 centimeters !
2. Start Digging
Start digging from the marked position.
First, dig a shallower pit and then gradually deepen it. Keep the pit walls vertical during excavation to avoid tilting or collapsing. If the soil is hard, loosen the surface soil first before deep digging !
3. Clean The Pit Bottom
After reaching the predetermined depth, clean and level the soil at the bottom of the pit, remove stones, grass roots and other debris to ensure a good growth environment for yam Roots !
IV. Fertilize And Improve The Soil
Apply an appropriate amount of base fertilizer in the dug pit. You can choose decomposed organic fertilizer, compound fertilizer, etc. Fully mix the fertilizer with the soil at the bottom of the pit to improve soil fertility. If the soil texture is poor, you can add some humus soil, sand, etc. for improvement !
V. Precautions
1. Pay attention to safety during the excavation process to avoid injuries caused by tools or collapses due to improper Excavation !
2. Try to choose a sunny day and when the soil is dry for excavation to better control the excavation quality !
3. The dug pits can be appropriately aired before planting to kill germs and pests in the Soil !
